Great Bohemian Waxwing pic burn
love Mourning Doves nanny-- usually a lone one has shown up in our grapevines the last two years-hopefully this year too.
Its too early -- the birdies are still in bed--I can hear em in the evergreens waking up-it snowed here last night and very tranquil out when I put out
the hummer feeders. Will add extra food out in a moment and have morning coffee and see who is around.
Great pictures. So nice to see a Bluebird, Nanny.
Dirt, I loved your pictures on the last thread.
Burn, thank you for remembering those of us on dial-up!
GG
Nice start Burn! You have some very cool birds up there in all that snow!
Nanny, I'd take any pic of a bluebird!
Just an American Goldfinch. Don't worry the feeder wasn't completely empty and he was the only visitor.
Burn and nanny, wonderful photos!!
Elphaba, my goldfinch feeder is more than twice the size of yours and I can't keep it filled up either! You'd think these little guys would get fat!
A Golden-crowned Sparrow
another shot
This Black Vulture was being lazy on the roost while all the others were out looking for lunch.
An Oak Titmouse
Love that Vulture picture!!!
Nice to see pictures of Bluebirds. None here yet.
It was 19 degrees and snowing hard this morning, still snowing about 2 inches so far, and windy. Here is a not very good picture of a pair of unhappy robins. Had to take it through the window. They are sitting in a Crabapple tree and if the weather were better they would be eating the little crabs
Donna
Blue-winged Teals and American Coots.
A pair of Pied-billed Grebe.
As usual the pics are great! I finally got a camera just in time to learn to use it on a trip to Costa Rica--just got back with over 1,800 pics. It is rather overwhelming but picked out 3 to post. Your photos now have my total admiration. What a challenge to get a bird close enough, in the right light, in focus and not covered by twigs , grass or shadows! Anyway here is one of my favorite birds from the mountains--Blueheaded Mot Mot.
There are not many Common Moorhens around right now so I guess this one joined the American Coots for safety.
The greatest birdwatching I have ever encountered is in Costa Rica!
Green Honeycreeper--Male
And female--
Thanks for the new thread Burn...you know I am jealous of your Redpolls and Grosbeaks!
Nice start on this thread...love seeing all the different birds and those birds from Costa Rica are gorgeous!
Here is a Fox Sparrow from the brush pile of course. I finally got a clear shot and the White-Crowned Sparrow decided to get into the act!
Here is the Harris' Sparrow that wintered here.
I never realized what a nice looking butt the Eastern Towhee has!! LOL!
A posing Pine Siskin from earlier this week.
Pine Siskin with bad eating etiquette!
Beautiful birds Rockminer, wish I could take a trip there. Love their colors.
Lovely pics Frank, love the Black Vulture as well.
Rutholive, poor Robins coming up, to that gloomy weather, They would be facing the same thing here.
Duc I want to see one of those sparrow, Your came to the feeder?
Nanny, Canada, Geese!!! yep Spring is near. My hope is slowly becoming reality.
Thanks everyone.
I have a visitor to my yard this morning, he had his lunch and taking his own sweet time resting and looking around. The Doves have come back to the yard, even though he's still there. One even sat in the same tree as him. As you can see he's very visible to birds. Gloomy here as well.
Cooper's Hawk

LOL Rose, love his little behind.
I agree, Rose, that back end is cute!! I think most of my P. Siskins have left the area now. Cute photos!
Rock, outstanding bird colors. Wish they'd come to Calif.
Burn, your little hawk looks so peaceful just sitting there.
Here's a female blackbird from Alnwick garden - you can just see the worm disappearing down her throat!
And a blue tit at Alnwick garden, such darlings!
Frank that is one nice shot of the BV!!
Nice hawk too burn.
